Loren Williams is a visual artist working predominantly in photography. The passage of time, natural history, museums and obsolete photographic technologies are the inspiration and vocabulary of her practice, while place plays an important role in defining the nature of the works.

Recent projects include a series of pinhole photographs taken with a violin case and a library photographed with pinhole book-cameras. Pharmacy, a site specific project incorporating early medical remedies, was exhibited in a neighbourhood pharmacy and a cyanotype project called The Bird Room, focused on a museum bird collection.

Originally from the Kootenays in British Columbia, Loren Williams moved to Montreal in 1993 and received her BFA honours in photography at Concordia University. She has received numerous awards and grants from the federal and provincial art councils and has exhibited her work nationally, with solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums including Bibliothèque Centrale de Montéal, Redpath Museum (Montreal), Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (Halifax), Moser Fine Art Centre (Illinois), Galerie Vu (Québec), WARC (Toronto), Galerie Articule (Montreal) and the Montreal Mois de la photo 2001,1997.
